"When Can I Stop Running?" is the forerunner to this book.

Only a couple of hours had passed since returning to the firebase. Now, the sleep-deprived and weary First Platoon soldiers must go back out on another patrol to search through two areas of hostility from the night before. A thorough search may reveal items that were overlooked in the dark.

It was thought to be an easy patrol - two klicks out and two klicks back, count the dead bodies, and then return by lunch. At least, that was the plan.

The soldiers soon found themselves surrounded and in serious danger, all because their battalion commander's thirst for body counts and fame drove them to take unnecessary risks. Outgunned and alone. Will they all survive? Get your copy to find out.

Sixpack, Polack, LG, and the bunch are back in this new installment from the award-winning author of "Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel."

John served in Vietnam between 1970 and 1971 as an infantryman with both the Wolfhounds of the 25th Division and the 501st Infantry Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division. The Army awarded him the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star, two Air Medals, and a Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry among others. He had spent 50 years working in various supplier management positions within the automotive industry and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration in 2004. John is a life member of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 154 and Rave Reviews Book Club. He and his wife Jan live in Sterling Heights, MI and recently celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary.

In his spare time, he manages a heralded Vietnam War website, contributes to social media platforms, and takes part in writing seminars to improve his craft.
